Nice view
Pros:

Proximity to the shoreline; outdoor dining area

Cons:

The suite they gave us (room 121 across the street) was very dingy, old fashioned, and ugly. Although it functioned, it looked and felt like it had not been refurbished for several years. They a

Would definitely stay again
Pros:

The theme of the hotel is very enjoyable. There were features in our suite that you would only expect in much more costly accommodations.
The service was above and beyond our expectations.

Cons:

That we only scheduled one night there. The lack of a pool.

Great location. Just ok accommodations for the price. Zero acknowledgment of our anniversary.
Pros:

Wonderful location, right on the beach. Accommodations were dated, but clean. Breakfast was 6/10….somewhat repetitive. Daily cookies were a nice plus.

Cons:

Property was dated. Really enjoyed the boutique nature of the facilities but for the price could have been much nicer. We were celebrating our 30th anniversary and I requested special acknowledgment twice before we arrive and had acknowledgment of our special date nor any extra amenities so was disappointed by that for sure.

Overall loved the location and the quaintness of this place. Staff was super friendly and helpful and the free breakfast
Pros:

Location was excellent! Loved our corner unit overlooking the water. Loved the rooftop and the breakfast area and the waters/ sodas that were included. Very nice touch.

Cons:

The shower in the (1) bathroom did not have any way to stop it from flooding the whole bathroom. Basically when you took a shower, the whole bathroom was the shower (like in Europe).

Ocean views for miles
Pros:

The absolute best room in La Jolla. We have been treated to excellent service, delicious breakfast and amazing sunsets. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a place to rest and reset, take on the Pacific Ocean, or venture into San Diego to stay here. It is first class.

Wonderful experience and good value.
Pros:

Location couldn't be better, being across the street from the seashore. Top of building wonderful to view the sunset. Room was extremely spacious, with two separate bedrooms, kitchen, and living room. Three TVs. Room condition in general was good and clean. The breakfast seemed like restaurant quality and wonderful, with places inside and outdoors to eat.

Cons:

If I'm being picky, the fridge in the room looked older and some of the faucets needed a good hardwater build-up removal.

La Jolla gem
Pros:

My wife and I enjoyed a two night stay here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We loved our room (323), which was located upstairs and had a large picture window and balcony overlooking the La Jolla coast that was directly across the street. The room was a large suite with a small kitchen and plenty of space. The hotel is separated into several buildings and is well maintained. There is onsite parking for a fee. A standard pre-made hot breakfast is included. Staff was attentive to our needs. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location, mid room.
Pros:

Great location, nice breakfast, good hassle free parking. Staff was attentive and nice. Very nice rooftop overlooking the ocean. Great weather and close to many places to eat/drink.

Cons:

Got so much bird poop on my car. The actual room didn't feel that clean and felt very small. The floors felt dirty. I wish the rooms were more up todate.

Pros:

Excellent location, steps from Lajolla cove and Children's Pool. Great ocean view. Good selection and toppings for hot breakfast. Shuttle rides for less than 2 mile trips. Free bottled water and soda and cookies.

Cons:

Uncomfortable bed and pillows, very firm. Very limited counter top space in the bathroom. Slight odor from A/C, but got used to it.

It was everything we had hoped it was going to be!
Pros:

We had a fantastic time and the friendly and helpful staff, the location and the accommodations all contributed to a fantastic stay! It was nice to have the complimentary breakfast and the cart to get us to a location and back if needed. We would/will definitely stay here again!

Cons:

There was nothing we did not like about the stay. The only change we would possibly make is to book a room with a balcony.
